It’s heeeeeeere! We previously counted the end of Halloween as the official kick-off to the holiday season, but over the years that honour has been passed onto the release of Oprah Winfrey’s annual list of her favourite things. What started as the most highly anticipated episode every year of her daily talk show has now evolved into a highly anticipated list on her website. From the outrageously decadent to the surprisingly affordable, the list has something for everyone. It’s a great place to get gift ideas for those in your life who are most difficult to buy for. It’s also where we like to find gifts for ourselves.

As is customary, Winfrey has penned a letter to her fans about the origins of her Favourite Things list, describing the joy of giving someone a gift they truly love. And if you’re wondering about Oprah’s favourite gift, it was given to her on her 64th birthday by a young girl at one of her schools in Africa. The gift is a box filled with pieces of paper listing 64 reasons the young girl loves Oprah. That’s lovely, especially for someone who can literally buy anything in the world.

For the rest of us, there are fuzzy socks, fancy popcorn and the latest tech gadgets. Homemade gifts are great too, but today it’s all about THE LIST. We’ve waded through all 107 items that made the cut and picked out the items we love the most. Tell Santa we’ve been good.

BURT’S BEES FAMILY PAJAMAS

ARC PERSONAL SECURITY SYSTEM

We wish we didn’t need this product, but the ARC Personal Security System looks like a great way to feel safe when alone. It has a loud and silent alarm and it can message your contacts with your location at the click of a button. Plus, the battery never has to be charged.

BINDLE BOTTLE

We know, we know. How many more reusable bottles can you buy before your home is described as being double-wall, vacuum insulated? Well, one more. The Bindle Bottle has a secret compartment to hold your keys, cash, and other small items, making it the perfect accessory when you’re on the go and wanting to stay hydrated. So, always. It’s always perfect.

BAREFOOT DREAMS LITE CAFTAN

It’s never too early or too late to start wearing a caftan, right? This cozy dress comes in one size, making you a member of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Caftan. Pair it with flats, sneakers, slippers or go barefoot and be one with the ground.

RAPIDX X5 CAR CHARGER

Most new cars now come equipped with charging docks, but they’re usually limited to two portals. No need to break up fights between your kids arguing over who gets to charge their device first thanks to the RapidX X5 Car Charger, which has ports for charging five gadgets at once. Don’t worry, they’ll find something else to fight about.

SMOKELESS INDOOR GRILL

Whether you don’t have the space for an outdoor grill or have a longstanding fear of turning on a propane tank (just us?), the Smokeless Indoor Grill from Philips looks like a game changer. According to Oprah, the grill delivers the same taste as if your food was cooked over charcoal. Okay, that’s impressive.

THE VELVET QUEEN HEADWRAPS

LUMOS BIKE HELMETS

You can never be too safe on a bicycle and the new Lumos Bike Helmet makes biking safer than ever. The bright LED lights will make the rider visible at night and by using the wireless handlebar button, the lights will also signal turns and stops.

LITTBAG BY PURSEN

Organizers for purses have been on the market for years and are a great way to transition from one handbag to another without having to move over all your important cards, makeup, glasses and more. But now there’s LittBag, which includes an LED light so that you can actually find your keys in your bag before searching the house three times and eventually discovering they’re in you’re bag, exactly where you thought they were. Genius!

House of Fluff Plush Faux Fur Teddy Scarf

Scarves have been around for centuries, but that doesn’t mean we’ve mastered how to arrange them. Thankfully, the plush teddy pull-through scarf takes the guess work out of tying it. No more neck chills while trying to get an ‘effortless’ knot.

AREAWARE GRADIENT PUZZLE

A few years ago, adult colouring books became the new way to relax after a long day. Now puzzles are making a comeback and we are very into the soothing colours of the Areaware Gradient Puzzle. That’s a puzzle worth framing once it’s complete.

SEE-YA SUITCASE

If you have little travelers who aren’t into rolling luggage with cartoons on the front, we suggest the See-Ya Suitcase. It’s chic, light, and looks cute in-between trips while being used as storage for toys.
